1/32 Trumpeter SBD-5 Dauntless in New Zealand markings w/ full Archer rivet replacement - DONE

Just to give everyone an idea of the work Woody has done for these skins, here's a shot of the instructions and some of the sheets of rivet decals. The instructions include placement for all of the rivets, top and bottom, sides and flaps. They also include step by step instructions and tips to get the most out of the skins. Pretty impressive....and again, they lay out beautifully, especially that thin carrier film. If only Tamiya could figure out thin carrier film:rolleyes:

Lovely work!

Have I missed something here?  Has Woody produced a set for this kit specifically?  If so I gotta get me one!

More progress. Not as much as I wanted to get done but I tuned in the dumpster fire of a debate last night and lost 2 hours of my life.....

 

And.....I added a panel line wash to help. Which Woody mentioned to me previously.....oops :blush:

I'll need a couple extra gallons of resin for that monster. 

Not high on the list right now.

Awwww C'mon dont let that put you off!  Love it if you did that lovely brute one day.  I will keep an eye out for the SBD set on your website (even though I dont even have the kit yet LOL

 

 

Brett, that is looking truly amazing buddy!

Did I miss the announcement for the sale on the rivets?  Those look amazing.  It has even got me thinking about getting a -1 to do a prewar version.

 

Brett is actually working with the very first release version and providing feedback for last minute revisions, if any. Once he's finished, we'll announce it here first. Right now, and to the end of the year, we are having an inventory clearance sale which is totally time consuming. Once we get through that, there will be a LOT of new releases in 2021.

Any chance you could send a file I could print out and check against my Matchbox kit, Woody? If it pans out closely enough, I might be in for a set - plus, you could then market it as being suitable for both kits!
